Please help me answer a question for a new member. She wants to do the temple work of her ex-deceased husband. She feels very strongly that she needs to do the work. She knows she needs permission. His mother is still living. From reading the information below it looks like she can just get verbal permission. Is that correct? When we enter into newfamilysearch.org I am helping her add, so do I add him as her spouse but I will need to add divorce date right? Where to I indicate that she has permission? Thanks Nancy User's Guide to the New FamilySearch Website (20 February 2012) (LDS Version) Do I Need a Relative's Permission to Perform Ordinances? (110-Year Rule) Problem .When do I need to get permission to perform ordinances? .Which relative can give permission for ordinances to be performed? Resolution Before doing ordinances for a deceased person born in the last 110 years, please remember that close relatives may not want the ordinances performed, or they may want to do the ordinances themselves. You may do ordinances for your own deceased spouse, child, parent, or sibling, but please consider the wishes of other close living relatives, especially a living spouse. If you are not a spouse, child, parent, or sibling of the deceased, please obtain permission from the closest living relative before doing the ordinances. The closest living relatives are, in this order: an undivorced spouse (the spouse to whom the individual was married when he or she died), an adult child, a parent, or a brother or sister. Verbal approval is acceptable. Family members should work together to determine when the ordinances will be done and who will do them. with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

There is a check box that the member must click on indicating they have permission from the nearest family member and are abiding by the rules set by the church. This comes up as you are preparing the name for temple ordinances.
